ERISA, governing retirement and pension programs, is very complex and nuanced. As a nonprofit organization, we were evaluating long-term defined-benefit decisions. Mr. Ashner brought unequaled knowledge and expertise to our issue, allowing our Board to navigate options to make good decisions and to help us avert mis-steps, which could have adversely affected our pensioners, our organization, and – most importantly – our mission.
